I can't believe what I just saw on FRONTLINE

[Paragon]

As punishment for looting, American troops decided to shoot up an Iraqi man's car with their handguns and then crush it flat with a tank. All on tape.

The man was a taxi driver. The car was his livelihood.

Support our troops, bring them home -- because the situation is driving them insane.

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. woah

that's rude.

[spanone]

2. welcome to compassionate conservatism

[Phatfish]

31. they may have overreacted

but lets not assume that every action of boys and girls in the military is some Republican strategy.



thought, if that was just a offhand joke then don't take my words to heart that much

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. It's on now! Central time zone

[Noordam]

8. That's a big part of what goes on all over. A tank driving down the stree

will run over all the cars on the street.

It's not just about democracy, or whatever, it's about destroying people's assets, becuase money is also political power.

[wuushew]

10. This is truly sad

but on the upside I can use my new Leadtek WinTV2000XP to do a video capture.

[Alpharetta]

I'm sure he'll harbor no animosity to us.

Right?

[Oilwellian]

11. Excellent so far!

Frontline on PBS appearing now on East coast.

[Paragon]

14. "Faith-based intelligence"

OH MY GOD...*the* new DU catch phrase!

Damn, now the "mushroom cloud" claim in Cincinnati...I feel dirty that he came to my town and unloaded such a lie.

[ReadTomPaine]

15. I don't think I've ever seen a bad segment of this program.

Frontline is top notch, it should make the rest of TV journalism hide their head in shame.

[NNN0LHI]

16. This is a great show tonight n/t

[VOX]

17. Thanks for the heads-up. Will catch it later on the West Coast...

:toast: :kick:

[Paragon]

18. FRONTLINE is run by the guy who left 60 MINUTES after "The Insider"

Pacino played him in the movie -- can't remember his name offhand.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Lowell Bergman ? n/t

[nomaco-10]

20. Yeah, I'm watching it too, It blew me away...

and what was so disturbing was that the soldiers enjoyed it so much. All the guy took was a few pieces of lousy lumber from an abandoned, building. He had a few boards tied to the roof of his compact car and they kept shooting the car with pistols, laughing all the while, and then they ran over it with their tank, the few pieces of lumber still on it. APALLING
People this is must see television programming, it's a riveting, documentary/expose of the whole damn bunch, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle, Rumsfeld and even a great segment exposing Chalabi for the lying, power hungry, wannabe puppet dictator he is.

[gp]

26. ANOTHER Online SEGMENT

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/truth/etc/anger.html

on the right there's a link to a video segment that appears in 'truth, war & consequences'

description:
When FRONTLINE cameraman Scott Anger rushed to the scene of a landmine explosion in downtown Baghdad, he witnessed and filmed a shootout between American soldiers and Iraqi fighters. Just five feet from him, an unarmed man in a crowd of civilians was shot and killed. Here's his account, along with his footage of the incident as it appears in "Truth, War and Consequences."

[Terwilliger]

27. UN - FUCKING - BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

I hope somebody shows this footage when people are trying to cheer the veterans!!! :nuke:

[imax2268]

28. Won't be on here

in Arizona until 9:00pm...looking forward to seeing what everyone has been saying...

I also posted it on another message board that is basically freeper city...we will see if they actually watch it...!

[fishnfla]

32. Including the future vet who was injured earlier in the scene?

The trooper was blowed up and seriously wounded. Did you see them hauling his limp body, limbs dangling, off on a stretcher? Come on man,the troops didnt asked to get shot at. They didnt ask for this war.

I hope some one shows your post to his parents, maybe you'll wise up

[Terwilliger]

34. My father is a vet...

and the US soldier that got shot SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN THERE ANYWAY!!

number two...those people were dis-GUST-ing! They've lost their humanity and should be tried for war crimes!!

[FDRrocks]

38. I got that sense too

The seeming lack of humanity.

"He wasn't a shooter, just someone standing on the side of the road"

"Ok guys, lets go"

[imax2268]

35. What is that supposed to mean...?

"I hope some one shows your post to his parents, maybe you'll wise up"...

What's up with that...?

[fishnfla]

33. dupe

[nomaco-10]

29. Task Force 20 killing and maiming...

innocent women, children, unarmed pedestrians and walking away like they just wiped something from the bottom of their shoe. This is the most powerful and honest look at post war Iraq to date. Ever adult person in this country should be made to watch this program. A real view into what's really going on in Iraq and a glimpse into the evil, bloodlust and manipulation of the whole cabal.

[Magleetis]

30. WOW

Frontline was great tonight. All the lies were exposed. Totally unbelievable. The experiment can only fail.

[Bozita]

36. This Frontline documentary sets a new standard for "MUST SEE TV"

tape it...give the tape to anyone with an open mind.

[Karenina]

37. Kick!

:kick:

[Postman]

39. Why aren't these words on the televised edition??.....

"But they overreacted. To compound the mistake, they incorrectly claimed that there had been a gunman in the crowd to justify their actions."............

They only appear on the website, which limits the amount of people who get exposed to information....
